When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 339: Breaking the Oath
Instructor Ding's team has already given up on the development of the T5 dungeon. Obviously, given the current situation, let alone the T5 dungeon, it is hard to say whether they can even pass the T4 ordinary dungeon that they could originally pass stably.

Although tank and healing professions have basically not changed and their strength remains the same as before, their DPS has been greatly reduced.

The team DPS has dropped by at least 40% compared to before.

DPS is always the most lacking thing in a team. The main reason why most bosses get stuck is insufficient DPS.

The tank can't hold up? You can just force the equipment in, and it will hold up if you have enough equipment.

Can't heal the healer? You can bring one or two more healers, which is generally easy to solve.

But the only thing is that the DPS is not enough, it is really not enough, nothing can work.

If DPS can be increased by 50%, then the skills that the boss would only use in the later stages may not be able to be used, the pressure on healers and tanks will be reduced, the possibility of team casualties will be greatly reduced, and the need for movement will also be reduced.

And now, the DPS of the entire group has dropped so much, which is definitely a very frustrating thing for the entire group.

Everyone has been criticizing Nitiantang in the guild channel for over an hour, and some people have also gone online and to forums to criticize it.

But after spraying, what should I do next?

There are only two options open to everyone now. Either quit the game out of anger, or accept the reality, switch to another BD, and continue to explore the T4 dungeon.

Some people are relatively open-minded and advise everyone in the guild channel.

"It's okay, it's just a BD cut. The BD of the Elementalist is really outrageous. In fact, everyone said it was okay, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that it would be fixed sooner or later.

"It's better to cut it now than to cut it after we have completed T5 and collected all the equipment. The ship is small and easy to turn around, and there is not so much sunk cost.

"Now everyone no longer has to play the Elementalist due to strength issues. You can play whatever you want."

But such words cannot comfort most people. After all, didn’t Shengjing Group do the same thing back then?
Many players also choose the third path, which is to continue looking for other powerful BDs in the game!

It's a bit hard for them to give up, but they're even more reluctant to play BDs with mediocre damage.

If we can find an equally strong alternative BD, maybe we can barely win back some players...

The original group activity was cancelled, and everyone could only return to the main city and stare blankly.

Instructor Ding also opened the skills and talents page and looked at the detailed information of the skills and talents, as well as the description of the special glyphs in the new version with boredom, like waiting for something unexpected, in vain.

At this time, someone in the guild asked: "I would like to ask you guys, I ordered a set of Black Man's BD according to your instructions, but why is there no damage at all?"

As the president, Lecturer Ding was obliged to answer the newbie's question immediately: "Have you switched to the dark form?"

The newbie quickly replied: "Of course it was cut."

Lecturer Ding then asked, "What about talent?"

Newbie: "Uh... I should have selected all of them, aren't they the dark damage-increasing talents?"

As soon as he said this, Instructor Ding instantly understood what his problem was: "No, no, no, you are wrong, it's not the dark damage-increasing skills and talents, those are for warlock BD.

"The little black man is in dark form, which is the priest's talent. It does not increase damage by the dark system, but by the light system, and then uses the talent to convert the light system damage into dark system damage.

"Because the light-type has more talents that increase damage, and it is not reduced by any resistance, so the damage will be higher after it switches to dark-type damage." Newbie: "Ah! I see, I'll try it!"

Lecturer Ding felt very satisfied having saved another confused newbie.

This so-called "little black man" is actually a BD derived from the original "dark priest" profession.

There are similar settings in many games. Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin, and the two can transform into each other. Once a priest gives up his belief in light, he will become a shadow priest, and the characteristics of a shadow priest are torture, bloodsucking, and continuous output.

There is a similar setting in "Shadow World". The Dark Priest can be regarded as a mature BD in the 60 version. Although it is relatively unpopular, there are still many people playing it.

Just as Instructor Ding said, the damage of light-related skills themselves is not high, but it has a characteristic, that is, the enemy has no corresponding resistance, and almost all the damage dealt is real damage.

Like other spell damage, such as elemental damage like fire, frost, or dark damage, there are corresponding resistance or protection skills. The higher the resistance, the less painful the skill will be.

But there is no such thing as holy resistance in this game.

Therefore, by using skills and talents to stack up holy damage and then converting it into shadow damage, you can also bypass the enemy's resistance and produce very good damage effects.

Previously, there was a group of new members in the guild who followed the crowd and blindly chose the BD that favored the elementalist. But now that this BD has been cut, they naturally sought to transform themselves and wanted to test whether the mature BD from the original 60 version could still perform outstandingly in the new version.

Soon, new complaints emerged in the guild.

“Fuck! Ni Tian Tang is really a ruthless person. He not only reduced the damage of the biased elementalist, he also locked an upper limit for all elemental damage!
“Is this something a human would do???
"Then I can't play my Ice Mage either? I can't play my Elemental Quail either!"

It's just one bad news after another.

After the Eccentric Elementalist was abandoned, most players wanted to switch to other magic systems.

After all, they are wearing spell damage equipment, so it is definitely unrealistic to switch to physical damage directly. If they can switch to BD such as frost mage or elemental druid, maybe they can still play.

But players soon discovered that Against the Heavens was not targeting the BD of the Elementalist, but rather cutting all elemental damage!
Originally, elemental damage can be stacked normally, and it can even be said that it is easier to stack than all other attribute damage.

But now, elemental damage can still be stacked normally when it is at a lower level, but once it passes a certain threshold, although the panel is still increasing, the actual damage does not increase at all.

This also resulted in other BDs that used elemental damage being innocently caught in the crossfire!
Take the Frost Mage for example, this was originally a standard traditional BD, and it could have dealt around 1 DPS. Although not as good as the 2 DPS of the Elementalist, it was barely usable compared to other BDs.

But now, the Elementalist has become 8000, and the Frost Mage is even worse, having directly become 6000.

What a joke!

There are too many BDs involved in elemental damage, for example, water element involves ice magic, fire element involves fire magic and destruction warlock, earth and wind element involves druid and other natural professions...

It’s no wonder that some people are thinking about dark skills and talents. This should be one of the few BDs in the game that has not been cut in half by the dragon-slaying sword this time.

Instructor Ding was also helpless, and his eyes were cast on a key talent in the Dark Priest BD set.

This talent is called "Breaking the Oath".

Its description is somewhat vague: "abandoning faith and finding new life."
